Detailed Description

This device assumes 48-bit mac addressing; there is also the possibility to add an ErrorModel if you want to force losses on the device.


The device can be installed on a node through the SimpleNetDeviceHelper. In case of manual creation, the user is responsible for assigning an unique address to the device.

By default the device is in Broadcast mode, with infinite bandwidth.

◆ DoDispose()

void ns3::SimpleNetDevice::DoDispose ( void  )

Destructor implementation.

This method is called by Dispose() or by the Object's destructor, whichever comes first.

Subclasses are expected to implement their real destruction code in an overridden version of this method and chain up to their parent's implementation once they are done. i.e, for simplicity, the destructor of every subclass should be empty and its content should be moved to the associated DoDispose() method.

It is safe to call GetObject() from within this method.

◆ GetMulticast() [1/2]

Address ns3::SimpleNetDevice::GetMulticast ( Ipv4Address  multicastGroup) const
virtual

Make and return a MAC multicast address using the provided multicast group.

RFC 1112 says that an Ipv4 host group address is mapped to an Ethernet multicast address by placing the low-order 23-bits of the IP address into the low-order 23 bits of the Ethernet multicast address 01-00-5E-00-00-00 (hex). Similar RFCs exist for Ipv6 and Eui64 mappings. This method performs the multicast address creation function appropriate to the underlying MAC address of the device. This MAC address is encapsulated in an abstract Address to avoid dependencies on the exact MAC address format.

In the case of net devices that do not support multicast, clients are expected to test NetDevice::IsMulticast and avoid attempting to map multicast packets. Subclasses of NetDevice that do support multicasting are expected to override this method and provide an implementation appropriate to the particular device.

Parameters
multicastGroupThe IP address for the multicast group destination of the packet.
Returns
The MAC multicast Address used to send packets to the provided multicast group.
Warning
Calling this method is invalid if IsMulticast returns not true.

◆ StartTransmission()

void ns3::SimpleNetDevice::StartTransmission ( void  )
private

The StartTransmission method is used internally to start the process of sending a packet out on the channel, by scheduling the FinishTransmission method at a time corresponding to the transmission delay of the packet.

SimpleChannel will deliver the packet to the far end(s) of the link as soon as Send is called (or after its fixed delay, if one is configured). So we have to handle the rate of the link here, which we do by scheduling FinishTransmission (packetSize / linkRate) time in the future. While that event is running, the transmit path of this NetDevice is busy, so we can't send other packets.

SimpleChannel doesn't have a locking mechanism, and doesn't check for collisions, so there's nothing we need to do with the channel until the transmission has "completed" from the perspective of this NetDevice.
